LATHE'PAN DEVICE.

-SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 697,418, dated April 8, 1902.

Application lcd March 28,1901, Serial No. 53,293. (No model.)

T all whom it may concern: l

Beitknown thatl, HENRY C. OsBonN, acitizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lathe-Pan Devices, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in lathe-pan devices; and it consists of the feaio tures hereinafter described, and more especially pointed out in the annexed claims.

The object of this invention is to provide exchangeable pans for use under turninglathes or other devices, so that quick exr 5 changes can be made when different materials are being worked-as, for instance, the two most usually used materials requiring separation, iron and brass. Extra pans can be kept in reserve, so that kinds of materials zo that are used infrequently may also have their chips separated.

With these ends in viewI show such an instance of adaptation in the accompanying drawings as shall show the underlying features of my invention without in any way limiting myself to the specilic construction shown.

Figure lis an end elevation of a pair of pans in operative relation to each other, and

3o their change of position is shown by dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a side elevationof Fig. l.

v Fig. 3 is a plan view of the locking-handle. Fig. Il is a cross-section of one of the pans.

I use door-standards A, which are tied together by angle-iron bars a, or they may bel These held in any other suitable manner. tie bars or rods may, if desired, be made adjustable lengthwise thereof, so as to adapt the same standard A to more than two pans 4o and to dilerentlengths of lathes. Ordinarily these rods would be made of standard lengths. The standards A may also be provided with any well-known forms of casters. As shown, their feet are slightly rounded on the under side, so as to make it more easy to slide the pan-holding frame about.

Within vertical ways a' of the standards A adjustable bearing-pieces B are removably held by bolts a2. For simplicity and cheap- 5o ness of construction and positiveness of support the pieces B have formed therein a series of holes h, by means of which they are adjusted to different heights on the standards A. The upper ends of these pieces are bifurcated at b, so as to receive the trunnions cot the end pieces C. Joining the end pieces C are two rods D. These rods pass into holes d, formed in the pieces C, and they are held in lplace therein by clamping-bolts d@ gether they are held asa unit, being free to rotate upon the trunnions c. Collars c serve to hold the trunnions c and pieces B in assembled relation.

The lever B' is pivoted at the upper end of 65 B. This lever has a short bifurcated end, which engages ribs c2, and hereby holds the reel in a vertical position, and when the ribs y ca are engaged the reel is held horizontally, Fig. 3. 7o

The pans E are formed of end castings e and a central semicylindrical trough or receptacle e', all being held together by tie-rods e2. The castings e have handles E and hooks e3, which pass over rods D, formed thereon. If desired, eye-holes e4 may be cast on the end pieces e, so as to facilitate the removal of the pans by means of any suitable hand-hooks. On the under edge of the castings e drip-oi projections are formed. The object of these 8o projections is to facilitate the dripping of oil from one pan into another and lastly into any kind of an oil-receptacle held on the tiebars ct. If desired, any suitable packing may be placed between the ends' of thesheet-metal 85' trough e' and the grooved portion of the castings, into which the trough is placed, so as to hold the oil in the pan. The lower pair of ears for the tie-rods e2 also serve as feet, upon which the pan may rest when removed from 9o the reel to the ioor orbench.

l. In lathe-pans, a removable frame, a re movable member thereon, means for raising and lowering the same, and a revoluble member in combination with removable receptacle supported by the revoluble member, substan-Y tially as set forth.

2. In lathe-pans, in combination, a frame, end members rotatably mounted therein,rods 10o connecting said end members, pans adapted to be suspended from said rods,one of said end By thus clamping the parts C and D to- 6o members having a longitudinal web and a handle pivoted to said frame and having a bifuroated part which may engage said web,.

substantially as set forth.

8. In lathe-pans, in combination, a trough adapted to be formed of sheet metal, end plates having grooves into which the ends of said trough t, and tie-rods passing through said end plates, substantially as set forth.

4. In lathe-pans, in combination, a trough adapted to be formed of sheet metal, end plates having hooks, and tie-rods passing through said end plates and adapted to hold said trough in position, substantially as set forth.

5. In lathe-pans, in combination, a trough adapted to be formed of sheet metal, end plates having grooves into which the ends of said trough fit, said end plates having ears which project to a point lower than the bot- HENRY C. OSBORN.
